Happy 17th Birthday

This is my daughter's card for her 17th birthday card!!  The camera was perfect for her since she's quite the little photographer.  I used a bunch of new stuff on here.  The 17 numbers were inked up with my new Delicata Golden Glitz Pigment Ink by Tsunkineko.  It's a metalic ink and there was no embossing required.  You can see in the second photo how rich and metalic the colour is, LOVE it!!

The papers and embellishments (camera and tag) are from the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes collections.  

I used some of my new Heidi Swapp Gold Lame Color Shine as well on the papers.  The alpaphabet stamp set and inside sentiment are from Paper Smooches.

I'm entering this in the Challenge at Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge Blog this week - Anything Goes.

I'm also entering in Simon's Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes and Seize The Birthday: Anything Goes.

Congratulations

I can't believe it's here - my stepson is graduating from highschool!! Next year, it's my daughter's turn, where has the time gone??

This is the card I made for him, hope it doesn't come across as 'halloweeny'.  Orange and black are the school colours.  I love the little grad cap, I found that at the Silhouette Online Store.  Loved that you could cut the tassle in a separate colour.  Can you tell I popped it up a bit?

I used my new stencil from Simon Says May 2014 card kit for the stars, which is just what they're looking for in Simon's Wednesday Challenge 'Stencil It'.  I layed it over the paper and sponged on some grey ink which I also went over with some clear Wink of Stella.  I tried to get a good picture of the sparkle on the stars but it just wouldn't show up right.  I used this week's Sketch #314 from Sketch Saturday.  Rather than adding any more chevron to the card I stuck with the chevron pattern in the paper and added a couple antiqued brads to the corners.
